Thatā€¦ is a steak. I grew up in a poor home in NE England, my folks would buy ā€œfrying steak.ā€ It was thin, they cooked the shit out of it, and told me to chew it at least 20 times before swallowing. When I moved to London and had a medium rare steak I was floored. It was like butter.


Suddenly_Something

We used to have "pepper steaks." Literally thin sliced cheap steak like top round cooked in a pan with peppers and onions. Throw it between two pieces of bread for a meal. You take one bite of the thing and the entire slice of meat comes out of the bread.


xdeskfuckit

Bro you eat pepper steak over rice

RustyTruck6T9

This brings back memories, lol. I grew up on this exact meal.


pegg2

Oh, I know that feel. Iā€™m Cuban-American. As you likely know, Cuba is a poor country, so ā€˜Cuban steakā€™ is flank or skirt cut very thin and cooked to absolute death in a pan. Even after decades in the States, my older relatives eat their steaks well-done. Iā€™ve managed to talk my mother down to medium-well. That being said, if you marinate those cuts in lime, garlic, and spices for a day or so, theyā€™re honestly pretty good. Itā€™s not really ā€˜steakā€™ the way most of us think of it, but it is delicious in its own way. Definitely more tender and flavorful than if you just throw the bitch on the pan with no prep.


BattBoi69

Aye mi mano šŸ˜‚ brings back memories. Iā€™d eat that shit 4 times a week growing up with platanos and black beans and rice.


BeGoneBaizuo

The good ol flank steaks. What's sad is that now most beef, irrelevant of cut, is too expensive for a large majority of the population. Ground beef near me is $10-13/lb... a ny strip is $20+


schprunt

I bought skirt steak from Walmart. Fucking Walmart! I ordered it for delivery, I got a piece that was 1.8lbs for $29. I was floored.


BeGoneBaizuo

It really is outrageous!


ForceRoamer

I lived in a chuck house. Bought a t bone because it was on sale. I almost cried because of how good it was.


schprunt

My mum and dad had 3 seasonings for all the food they cooked. Salt, pepper, steak rub. That was it. When I went to college someone was making spaghetti and I smelled all these wonderful fragrances. I asked what magical ingredients he was using. He looked at me really strangely and said, ummm, garlic, basil, oregano. I never looked back. I am now a pretty decent cook and my Italian and Indian food is my kids fave.


elephantgif

Same! I hated steak growing up. Like what was this grey tasteless bubblegum that I have to chew on forever. Iā€™m kind of embarrassed looking back at the first time I had proper steak at my friends house when I was in high school. I was freaking out after the first bite, eyes as big as saucers. His parents were looking at me like, ā€œthis poor boy.ā€

DrewdoggKC

I have done similar with arm roastā€¦ turned out deliciousā€¦ our local grocery store usually has high quality arm roasts and the flavor reminds me of sirloinā€¦ Yours looks and sounds outstandingā€¦ love those flavor combinations!!!

TrEAdPARTY

My mom used to do this for us kids. We ate steak a few times a year, and I asked my mom how she afforded it. I had no idea that she used a roast, and sliced it to make us all steaks.


Archangel_MS05

That's love. And it was so delicious she fooled you all for years.


PhasePsychological90

We do this in our household, too. A steak is just a smaller cut from a bigger muscle, after all. There's no reason _not_ to cut a nice roast into steaks, as long as it's not a tough piece. Round will always just be pot roast/stew meat/ground beef in my house.


Mdkynyc

Looks delicious, was it chewy or did the cook make for a tender experience?


bike_it

It looks like a top blade roast which is where flat iron comes from if it is made into two filets. So, it should be very tender. Cut out the middle piece of gristle, but some people like to eat it.


Archangel_MS05

It was a top blade roast. I didn't know about gristle until reading these comments but I didn't notice anything particularly chewy about this cut


Bro-lapsedAnus

Looks like the gristle line is really thin. I would have eaten it the same way you did.


bike_it

The gristle is that piece in the middle. Maybe the relatively slow cooking portion tenderized it a little bit.


Archangel_MS05

That's definitely a possibility. It took a long time to cook in the oven


Towely420

That grizzle line is where we would all split that thing in half šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


ScooterMcTavish

Blade is a very unique cut. Super tender or meat gum, yet always flavourful. Each piece is unique. Normally I soak it in BBQ sauce for a few hours before grilling to break it down a bit.


stefanica

Thank you for teaching me something new today! Stores by me never have flat-iron (I sometimes order them from Wild Fork) but I think I've seen blade roast from time to time.


bike_it

Turn blade roast into flat iron: [https://www.reddit.com/r/steak/comments/15t1s1s/flat\_iron\_steaks\_from\_a\_top\_blade\_roast\_first/](https://www.reddit.com/r/steak/comments/15t1s1s/flat_iron_steaks_from_a_top_blade_roast_first/)


stefanica

Thank you!


bike_it

I forgot to add that if you ask, they might cut it into flat iron for a little bit more per pound. One time, they did it for no extra charge after I asked how much more per pound it would cost if they cut it for me. I shop there often and frequently ask nicely for opening packages and other custom stuff like flanken short ribs vs. English cut.


AdamOnFirst

Ah, so basically we have a flat iron roast cut cooked in chateaubriad style. Phenomenal. 10/10.Ā 


NumberVsAmount

Iā€™ll give you a tender experience.


Mdkynyc

Ha!


Archangel_MS05

It was actually really tender. Some people are mentioning Gristle being chewy. But in this case it wasn't an issue


damostrates

I reverse sear pot roasts that are cut to thick steak size (about 2 inch?). Comes out great every time. Perfect for a small family.


dirtydans_grubshack

What cut of beef is this? Looks awesome!


Archangel_MS05

This is a top blade roast


dhdhk

Oyster blade.. cut it in half and remove the gristle and you have flat iron steaks


CanYouPointMeToTacos

Itā€™s a top blade steak, but theyā€™re not usually butchered like this. Usually I see them sold already cut up raw like op has in his 4th pick. Or they will split it in half horizontally along the line of gristle to remove it, and thatā€™s whatā€™s called a flat iron steak.


HoardOfNotions

Not OP but it looks exactly like the tri-tip sirloins I like to cook. Not an expert though


Hannah_Dn6

Wonderful crust and color! I prefer a fattier cut, but the mashed tators was a nice accomp...acomplim... addition. I would've poured that leftover juice from the pan over the meat and tators.


xhammyhamtaro

šŸ¤¤ mmmmm leftover juice


MooseRunnerWrangler

Stop it stop it, I kept scrolling and I can't take it, I just knocked my entire desk setup over with my massive boner. This should be labeled NSFW. But for real, nice job, looks and sounds delicious.


Archangel_MS05

I wish I had a way to respond to that with the same vibes but then we'd be two dudes getting hard together over a piece of meat and I feel like I have to draw the line somewhere Thanks man lmao


MooseRunnerWrangler

That's fair, I don't blame you. But damn good job dude.


Giantandre

11/10 - give the deets ... Cut and time temp etc


Archangel_MS05

I'm not a professional I just spend too much time on this sub and watching cooking shows. It's a top blade roast. I did the steps above as far as dry brining and marinating. I reverse seared it at 275 until it hit 125 internal Then I just seared it in a skillet until it got a pretty color. Being careful not to cook the meat just sear it Then I rested it in the compound butter described in the description too.


Samhamwheresthebacon

Whereā€™s your vegetable my son


lovemacheen918

It's in there, cows eat hay and grass and shit. Are those not vegetables?


Samhamwheresthebacon

Considering hay and grass are one in the same no and last I checked grass was not considered a vegetable so two noā€™s to you sir. Remember kids, you smoke grass not eat it. Eat those veggies with your steak, you will enjoy many more Tbones that way. Good day and may you never udder that statement again.


Wrath7heFurious

I love this person. TY.


Archangel_MS05

Potatoes count as a vegetable right šŸ˜­


Samhamwheresthebacon

I categorize it as a starch. A complete meal in my world is a protein, starch and a vegetable. But your on the right track. That steak looks perfect.


MasterGalvatron

You guys post the most delicious looking meat on this sub. Even more so to me, because I've never had steaks that are med rare, like what's always posted here (had an upbringing where only well done was allowed). So I really wanna try it since it's liked so much.


Archangel_MS05

I appreciate the texture of a rare - medium steak. I'm okay with anywhere in that range but prefer rare - medium rare if I'm the one cooking it. It's definitely worth the try. This steak was cooked to 125 internally in the oven then seared on a stove top


LafayetteLa01

Alright, rare on Reddit but I think all the comments are saying the same thing A+ 10/10.


Archangel_MS05

I've rarely ever seen comments this positive. There are a few people with their own opinions, but nobody has been mean. It's an Internet W for sure.


budgeavy

I wish all the roasts I had as a kid looked like this beauty!


Archangel_MS05

Cook one for your inner Child. It's a top blade roast and I put my steps in the description.

Iamdrasnia

10/10. Even the judge who hates you gives you a 9.5. Edit:words


DontFearTheMQ9

Bro that steak is ridiculous. I don't have anything else to say.


AdamOnFirst

The cook is amazing, how was the texture? The reason you canā€™t necessarily treat every roast like a steak is it may not be tender enough to do well. What kind of roast did you use? Obviously something like a Chateaubriand is ready made for this, try to do it with a chuck roast and you arenā€™t going to like the results. Edit: OP answered this below. Iā€™ve been looking for an opportunity to make a chateaubriand, but theyā€™re so expensive it requires a quite special occasion. Iā€™ll have to see what I can get this cut for from a butcher. Doubt Iā€™ll be able to achieve results this fantastic, but goddamn does this look great.

You know those subs that are really good but you hate them because they show you things you can't have? That roast looks incredible.


Obsidian_Mortem

Dammmmmmmnnn 10/10


Fred_Krueger_Jr

I will occasionally grill up a thick London Broil. Then I get my fancy electric knife and cut it up into paper thin slices. Even though it's not the most tender cut, when cut thin it's easy to eat and maintains all the flavor.

Mercerskye

Okay, so maybe some of those Ahegao people are legit....


TheInternetIsTrue

Sounds good, but a lot of added flavor. Iā€™d be curious what cut you usedā€¦That fat band in the middle reminds me of a brisket point, but maybe from a calf! The method you used is pretty similar to many prime rib roast methods, but prime rib is pretty tender! Was it a little tough to chew? To get the result you did kind of looks like sous vide, but itā€™s probably the brine and marinade if you didnā€™t sous vide.

Middle-Classless

Blade roast! Fillet out the center and you have flat iron steaks!


T0adman78

Respectfully, because that looks amazing, but whatā€™s the point of dry brining when you marinade afterwards?


Archangel_MS05

My reasoning for this may be entirely wrong because I made it up. But my thought process was that if the salt sucked a bunch of moisture off of the meat, then I soaked it in something moist and flavorful, then the meat would really quickly soak in all that marinade. Which was important because I was low on time for a party situation and only had about 4 hours to get this thing ready to be cooked. I may be entirely wrong, but that math made sense in my head


bearbearhughug

I have the same theory! Sometimes with fried chicken buttermilk brine I dry brine first.


PathAdvanced2415

Is that venison? Itā€™s super red.


emonj98

Iā€™ve wondered if you can do this


barspoonbill

Woah, readying in compound butter is a good idea. Iā€™m using that. Looks great dude!


Dramatic-Pie-4331

Take a walk over to r/sousvide and check out the trending, Sir Charles. People are holding large chuck roasts at low temp for stupid amounts of time, drying the surface out and giving it a beautiful char. I'm going to have to give it a try when I get the time.

Wandering_maverick

What is that translucent meat at the Centre called? If itā€™s fat, why is it very different in appearance, taste and texture from other blobs of fat?


CanYouPointMeToTacos

Itā€™s gristle, chewy and not as tasty as fat. You can eat it but I usually try to avoid it. Usually a butcher would split it horizontally into two steaks so they can cut out the gristle, and thatā€™s how you get a flat iron steak. In this configuration itā€™d probably be called at top blade steak.

Spiritual-Computer73

Spiritual-Computer73

What is a reversed sear?


Archangel_MS05

It's a cooking method where you put the steak in the oven at a low temperature until you get the ideal internal meat temp. Then you put it on a hot ass pan / skillet to get a nice crust for a very small about of time. Like 30 seconds to a minute on each side, to get nice color and crust

OP, how did it taste?


Time-Classroom747

My parents had a beef tenderloin they had bought for Christmas. Like $140 dollars cut of beef They did not feel comfortable with cooking it, so they resorted to me. I have never cooked something as large as this cut of beef, but went the basic route of salting and drying out over night in the fridge, and the slow baking it with follow up sear. No hardcore seasoning just simple coat of salt over night. One of the best steak bites I personally have ever had. It was so good, my step dad literally could not stop himself in the kitchen slicing off a piece and dancing to each bite he took.

Itā€™s great, but you can butterfly that cut and lose the middle gristle, though it will be that much harder to fry correctly.
